I was once spelunking a file that hadn't been touched in like 7 years, and there was a weird line where it was adding 2 to the index for seemingly no reason. The comment was like // Sam: not sure why this is off by 2 here. See ticket #12345 for discussion

Whatever issue tracking software it was referencing was no longer used, so that ticket was gone, and who TF is Sam?
